  I note the two covers with the most impressive cleavage have their own publisher logo which in itself suggests what youre getting for your money! any more info on this publisher CoolHand?

  It’s very easy to see why these would have sold well 👀

  The publisher was Playtime Books also using the name Neva Paperbacks. They were based in Las Vegas, Nevada, hence the Neva name. They published pulp paperbacks like the ones shown above and also Doctor Kildare type hospital dramas. They were sued by another publisher for plagiarism at one point. Their covers were always good, I will post some more this weekend.

  Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

  Honestly, these books sold so fast it was like lightning! My only problem was getting enough of them. As I have written elsewhere, I had a great source from the States, but I could have sold 3 or 4 more times the volume I was able to get hold of, with ease
